ASA play on OVER 221.5 LA Lakers @ Golden State Warriors, 10PM ET

Hasta la vista Lakers! This roster was put together by LeBron and was destined to fail right from the start. Los Angeles will miss the playoffs and will have to make major moves in the offseason if they expect to compete next season. Was it a coincidence that LeBron sat several games down the stretch against good defensive teams and when his team was in dire need of him to make the playoffs? He needs to play in the final three games to be eligible for the scoring title so I’d be surprised if he doesn’t play here. The Lakers are 12th in scoring at 111.6PPG and 7th in overall FG% offense and if they get to 110 or more this game goes Over. A big reason why will be the points the Warriors put up. Golden State is still playing for a better playoff position, so we know what kind of effort we’ll get from them. The Warriors should score plenty here against a Lakers defense that is 26th in points allowed, 22nd in FG% defense and 16th in defending the 3. The Lakers have allowed 1.230-points per possession in their last five games and 122.9PPG. The Warriors are 10th in both overall FG% and 3PT%.  The three meetings this season between these two teams has ended with 240, 232 and 235 total points. More of the same here.

ASA play on: LA CLIPPERS -4.5 over NY Knicks, 10PM ET

Remember when the Knicks started the season off with one of the best offenses in the NBA? Yeah, that was through the first few weeks of the season and was short lived. New York is the 27th lowest scoring team in the league, 27th in FG% at 43.4% and 16th in 3-point%. The Knicks are 25th in overall offensive efficiency at 1.089-points per possession and have a net differential on the road of minus -2.8PPG. The Knicks have lost 7 straight games and have a 3-13 SU record their last sixteen games. The Clippers are gaining traction in the West with 5 straight wins and 7 of their last eight overall. At home the Clippers have been especially tough with a 7-1 SU record their last eight and the lone loss came against the defending Champions, Milwaukee Bucks. Since the All-Star break the Clippers have the 3rd best overall defensive efficiency rating and a +/- of +9.5PPG. We like the Clippers to get a double-digit win in this one.

ASA NBA free bet Milwaukee Bucks -4.5 over Miami Heat – 8:10PM ET

HUGE game in the Eastern Conference with Miami Heat 1st at 41-21 while the Bucks are 4th at 37-25. Home team has won 7 of last ten AND all 3 meetings this season were won by an average of 24PPG. Bucks were favored by -6.5 points at home last meeting without Giannis, now laying LESS than that with him? Miami’s current 9-1 SU hot streak has driven this number down from where it is. Milwaukee is 124-36 SU their last 160 at home with a +10PPG average. Bucks hold an advantage offensively with the 4th most efficient offense in the NBA at 1.139-points per possession compared to the Heat’s 1.131PPP which ranks 7th. The Heat are better defensively with the 6th best DEFF numbers allowing 1.081PPP versus the Bucks who rank 13th allowing 1.103PPP. Bucks 4-2 ATS the last 6 meetings. No Lowry for the Heat on Wednesday which will shorten their rotation and we like the Bucks to win a close game by 8 or more points.

ASA play on UNDER 212 Miami Heat @ Chicago Bulls, 8:10PM ET

Miami Heat vs Chicago Bulls prediction – We have a match up of two teams that both rank in the top 10 in defensive efficiency (Heat 4th, Bulls 10th) and points allowed per game as the Heat give up 102.4PPG, Bulls 104.6PPG. The pace of this game shouldn’t be fast as the Bulls are average in possession per game while the Heat are 27th and one of the slowest in the NBA. Chicago played a game last night against the Magic and allowed 88-points. When playing without rest the Bulls have averaged only 196 total points. The Heat have 1 day rest and playing in that scenario they average 206.4PPG. Last season when NBA games averaged 224 total points these two teams played in three low scoring affairs with totals of 212, 207 and 191. With NBA scoring down this season to 214 we expect even less scoring in this game. The Heat vs Bulls prediction is UNDER.
